Royal Deeside⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 59

11/2

Made the frame in 3 handicap chases in recent months but ran poorly on level at Southwell previously and makes limited appeal.

Form: 6/6208-0

(9)

Izakaya^h²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: C Poulton| OR: 53

9/2

On the up when landing a double in staying handicaps on turf in the autumn. Not disgraced, back from 4 months off, when eighth at Lingfield recently and figures off a handy mark on her first go over this sort of trip.

Form: 50511-8

Edwardtheninth⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: O McSweeney| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 51| BF

3/1

Still looking for first success but got back on track when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (2m, 9/4) 41 days ago and should appreciate this longer trip.

Form: 293-394

(1)

Achnamara^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 50

15/2

Operating below best on level and over hurdles of late and is hard to recommend with any confidence, despite a career-low mark.

Form: 79-8465

Lillistar¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 49

18/5

Wolverhampton winner in October who posted a good second at Newcastle (2m) last month. Not in same form over hurdles latest but looks a likely player here.

Form: 65231-2

Lady Phoebe²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Nicol| OR: 49

7/2

Off the mark at Musselburgh last summer and arrives on back of creditable fourth over hurdles 3 weeks ago. Needs to prove herself over this marathon trip, though.

50/1

Still looking for first success and hasn't done enough in recent starts to make him of real interest here.

Forecasts

Edwardtheninth (3/1), Lady Phoebe (7/2), Lillistar (18/5), Izakaya (9/2), Home And Dry (9/2), Royal Deeside (11/2), Different Drum (7/1), Charlie Darling (7/1), Achnamara (15/2), Capone (20/1), Lion City (33/1), Ebendi (50/1)

Preference is for LILLISTAR, who ran with credit on her last Flat outing and looks well worth a crack at this longer trip. Home And Dry, Izakaya and Edwardtheninth are feared most in a tricky-looking contest.
